People, people, there is a constant use of the "menacing stretched out hand" motif with regards to her brother, I don't think she is merely imagining his behavior it or making it up. The brother is drawn very menacingly, and it would be stupid if there were a future plot point along the lines of "surprise the brother was actually not bad at all", considering her backstory is acting as a source of very serious trauma for our MC. That would be anti-climatic to the extreme, and unnecessary. She even says she wished for a kind older brother. Notice, not "normal", but "kind". It's a bit of a stretch to suggest the brother is ultimately free of fault here, and it doesn't really make sense to take the innocent until proven guilty approach either, when everything points to the contrary.
I'm just baffled why so many seem to want to believe her brother did nothing wrong, when the author clearly wanted us to interpret the opposite. (Especially the "he came to my house/nobody was watching" scene from last chapter. I mean, is there really a positive interpretation of that?)
